Six Minutes

(Hello. No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.)

[Verse 1]
Incomprehension in this little dimension, it's growing (it's growing)
I got an honorable mention for my apprehension, it's showing (it's showing)
They hate to draw attention, can't stand the dissension I'm throwing (I'm throwing)
They show such condescension but I'll get reprehension, I'm going, (get going)

(I like to think I'm a gentle man. I like to think I'm a gentle man.)

[Chorus]
It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry

(Well, I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular Baroque ballads of that day.)

It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry

[Bridge]
I like to think people all can be kind
I like to think my life is just fine
I like to keep feelings all in a jar
'Cause I like to think it looks good from afar

[Verse 2]
Blatant aggravation at my situation, it's daunting (it's daunting)
I'll make some altercations to my declaration, they're taunting (they're taunting)
It's all self-preservation is my realization, it's haunting (it's haunting)
Well, here's my resignation and there goes the reputation I'm flaunting (I'm flaunting)

[Chorus]
It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky (I like to think people all can be kind)
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry (I like to think my life is just fine)
It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky (I like to keep feelings all in a jar)
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry ('Cause I like to think it looks good from afar)

It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky (I like to think people all can be kind)
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry (I like to think my life is just fine)
It's been five seconds since I had checked in to where I could see the sky (I like to keep feelings all in a jar)
It takes six minutes for it to begin its anticipated battle cry ('Cause I like to think it looks good from afar)
